How long a garage door spring will last depends on how often the door is
used and the cycle rating of the springs. In todays' modern garage
doors Torsion springs provide over 90% of the lift needed to raise a
garage door so they are critical to your doors' operation and broken
springs are one of the most common garage door repairs needed.
Most garage doors open and close 3-5 times a day, 300+ days a year.
Multiply that by by 10 years. The reason they use 10 years is because
that’s the average life of a garage door, though many last much longer. The standard non-coated
springs are rated at 10,000 cycles meaning they should last between 7
and 10 years.
Precision Garage Door Springs
are heavy-duty, powder-coated to resist rust, and rated at a
minimum 33,000 cycles to ensure a longer life expectancy for the entire
garage door system. That means they will last three to four times as long
before you'll need to worry about them.
Thanks for the information. I've been wondering how long those springs will last on the garage door. I thought my garage door opener was going bad until I replaced the batteries and it seems to be working just fine.
